Our most important accomplishment was providing aid to Japan through the sale of a piece donated to the JETAA Toronto Benefit Concert. The event was a tremendous success and raised an estimated $12,000 overall. The organizers should be extremely proud of themselves. I met many of these wonderful people that night.

Tiny Paper Cranes has found another gifted, passionate origami artist. More on this as appropriate.

We have finished a commissioned piece requested by someone who has a friend returning to Japan very soon. Our thoughts are with you as you return to your homeland.

This was written out and planned as a very positive post but in light of yesterday’s 2nd big earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I feel very restless and anxious. I will be looking to donate more art to provide aid.
